We had to wait another week, but “Still”
was well worth it. Whether you
were watching it for the first time (me!) or for the 50th time it
was fantastic and full of amazing moments!
Some people would argue that it was a “clip show” but have you ever seen
such an amazing “clip show?” Didn’t
think so! And trying to pick just 5 moments?
Impossibly hard! I wish I could just put #1: Still. I tried to give a good mix between dialogue
and flashbacks but there were so many moments I wanted to include but ran out
of spaces! UGH! So grab your “bomb buddy,” pick out your favorite Kate Beckett
hairstyle, and lets countdown the best moments because if I have to choose just
5 “I’m glad I’m stuck” with you guys!
5. Playing Cop
Let’s
start with a fun moment, shall we? Beckett finally asks Castle why he was
following her around so much if it wasn’t because he was into her. She also immediately shoots down his probable
answer of “research” because no one at the precinct believed that for a
second. Castle admits that it was
because he was having so much fun “playing cop!” And cut to one of my favorite Castle scenes… “Pa
na na naaa na na na na pa na na naaa na na!”
I loved re-watching all of Castle’s “want to be cop” moments and I couldn’t
help laughing through them. While I still
don’t believe him 100%, I mean come on… you were totally into Beckett, I
definitely think this contributed to him staying. I mean, he’s just a big kid at heart!
4. Misreading
the Situation
After admitting that her
friends may have said things about her liking Castle, Beckett says that they were
“completely misreading the situation.”
Castle doesn’t believe it for a second saying “much like I must have
been misreading the situation all those times you dressed up in revealing
outfits to try and turn my head.” And cue Billy Squier’s “The Stroke” (which
was absolutely perfect) and a montage of Beckett in sexy, revealing outfits!! I don’t know about you guys, but I re-watched
that scene a few times. Beckett tries to
brush it off saying it was for undercover purposes but Castle can’t help but notice
that he was around every time. Beckett
puts it back on him saying he was always there because he was following her
around meaning he was into her.
Boom. How about that logic to
ruin your story Castle? SEXIEST.MONTAGE.EVER!
3. Breakfast
in Bed
Moments
that involved Caskett in the morning are rare, but never fail to
disappoint. The episode opens with
Castle bringing Beckett coffee and he watches her sleep for a moment. She gives him a big smile and a “hey” and he
asks about the case that kept her out late that night. She tells him she has to get going to check
traffic camera footage but Castle has a different, more fandom approved
plan. He tells her to have Esposito
check out the footage because “he’s very good at it - I feel like I haven’t
seen you in days.” This earns a big smile
from Beckett as she straddles Castle sitting on his lap. “You know I really do have to get going but…”
Castle interrupts her saying “but you’re paralyzed versus me – you always have
been.” Beckett isn’t too convinced with
that statement and says “really? Do you
remember when we first met? I kind of thought
you were an ass.” Ouch, Castle! It’s ok thought because if he wasn’t a
persistent “ass” we might not have Caskett today! Castle tries to convince her she fell for him
the first moment she saw him, but Beckett isn’t budging and has to leave to
head into the precinct. Castle picks up
the lattés and says to the empty room “Did you see the hearts? It took me like 6
minutes…” Overall, a nice set up for the
rest of the episode and I can’t deny a glimpse into Caskett mornings! Also, I’m still jealous of how great Beckett
looks in the morning… ugh. People would
run away with the breakfast if it was me!

2. Billy
After
finding out the son’s name, Castle puts “Billy” in as the code which disarms
the bomb. Beckett immediately steps off
the bomb and right into the loving arms of Castle. Leaving the building she thanks him for staying
with her (which gets us an always response) and they go in for a kiss but it’s interrupted
by Gates, Espo, and Ryan pulling up in a car. Beckett nervously asks Espo if
Gates saw their almost kiss but he quickly denies it. After Gates commends
Castle for staying with Beckett, Beckett admits she doesn’t know many people
who would have done that. You can tell
she instantly regrets this as she shyly tucks a strand of stray hair behind her
ear and hope Gates doesn’t pick up on the romantic undertone. Turns out it doesn’t matter though because
Gates knew about their relationship all along! “Oh for heaven’s sake detective just kiss the
man!” Beckett is shocked that Gates knew
but as Gates told her she isn’t an idiot!
She needs to maintain plausible deniability so they can continue to work
together and she says she will continue to do that as long as they act
professionally at the precinct. In
typical Castle fashion, he agrees that he can but says that Beckett has a “long
history of coming onto him at work.”
Gates tells Beckett that Castle deserves his kiss and right before they
do she says she was reminded of all the times they kissed in the past and was
trying to pick the best one. Cue Another epic montage of so many great kisses! Castle asks
what she thinks and she says “I think we’re just getting started” before
sharing a well deserved kiss (in daylight!).
It was great to finally confirm that Gates knows about Caskett and it
appears she is a shipper too! Also, that
kiss montage? Perfection! I also love
Beckett’s “we’re just getting started” attitude about their relationship and
hope that this means there will be progression in the remaining episodes this season.
This episode had Caskett overload and it will not be deleted from my DVR
anytime soon!
1. I Love You
No surprise
here guys! Realizing there are only 10 minutes left, Castle is required to
leave the building. Beckett asks for a
minute alone with him and she says “it’s time to say goodbye.” Castle says “I’m not leaving” but Beckett reminds
him that he promised to help her with something when the time came and “this is
it.” Castle says he wishes he could kiss
her and do “so many things” but Beckett tells him there are “no regrets.” She continues saying “all and all I think we’ve
had a great run. You should go.” As a teary eyed Castle turns to leave, she
says “Rick – I love you.” Castle
responds with “I love you too” and leaves a crying Beckett standing all alone
in the apartment. First off, she finally
said it!!!! I LOVE YOU! Those three wonderful words in the right
order, and at a perfect (or not so perfect depending on the outcome of the
episode) time. Secondly, the amount of crying
I did during this scene was shameful but I just can’t stand to see Castle and
Beckett so upset. And the Robert Duncan
score? Perfect! Such an amazingly
perfect moment and really words cannot describe how fantastic Nathan and Stana
were during this moment. I was on the
edge of my seat, crying, and so excited all at the same time. This definitely calls for a standing ovation.
So much Caskett love!
Were you in love with this episode as much as I was or did it fall flat
for you? Have any tissues left after all the tears?? Also, what’s with this new job
offer? Is there tension on the horizon?!?
